i dont know how much easier i could explain it but the boss distortion pedal i have works great and can operate at louder volumes with no problems so i think ill stick to that brand.

I appreciate you getting back to me, obviously i have other pedals running through the amp and there is no issue with them, like i said the volume on the amp is fine, the pedal just cant keep up with it and the volume drops down when i turn it on, and yes i have the big muff turned up.
